Giant Rear Wheel SLR 1 50, 12 x 142 mm - Shimano HG

The new SLR 1 50 offers a powerful combination of aerodynamic efficiency, responsive handling, and reduced weight – it is 58 g lighter than the previous generation. With the same wind tunnel-tested 50 mm hook profile and optimised carbon layup as the SLR 0, along with DBL and a low-friction 40-tooth ratchet hub, the SLR 1 50 provides affordable, race-ready performance.

Features:

• 58 g lighter than the previous generation for improved responsiveness and better climbing.
• Optimised carbon layup concentrates strength where it matters most, providing more performance without additional weight.
• The wind tunnel-tested 50 mm hook profile of the aero rim offers maximum aerodynamic performance under real conditions.
• 3.8 mm hookless rim beads improve durability, reduce weight, and provide better tyre protection for aggressive cornering.
• The 22.4 mm internal rim width improves tyre shape and contact patch for enhanced grip, comfort, and shock absorption.
• The dynamically balanced spoke arrangement (DBL) with wider spoke reinforcement angles and balanced spoke tension under dynamic load improves torsional and lateral stiffness for excellent power transfer.
• The low-friction 40-tooth ratchet hub reduces bearing load and improves rolling resistance, allowing for quicker engagement and smoother power transfer.
